Many people who believe in and claim to understand the paranormal think that most ghosts are harmless and can actually help people while they are visiting. People also claim that some ghosts are negative spirits who can make life uncomfortable for the living. Consider employing a variety of methods if you are trying to get rid of unwanted ghosts in your living space.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Step1
Ask the ghosts to leave. Directly address the ghosts and ask them to leave in a calm but forceful tone.
Step2
Read the book "The Ghost Hunter's Handbook: A Field Guide to the Paranormal" by Lori Summers at Amazon to learn about ways to get rid of unwanted ghosts and what to do if you encounter a ghost (see Resources below).
Step3
Burn a candle to get rid of unwanted ghosts. Write your intention on a piece of paper you place underneath the candle, or carve your intention into the wax of the candle. Repeat the process until you feel you have gotten rid of the ghosts.
Step4
Follow the advice found in "Break that Curse! Get Rid of the Evil Spirits, Demons, and Ghosts" by Crowell Ramsey at Amazon (see Resources below).
Step5
Visit a medium or psychic healer who can help you get rid of your negative ghosts. The healer might do spells or talk to the ghosts on your behalf to get rid of them.
Step6
Smudge your home with sage. To smudge your home, open all of the windows in your home and light a bundle of dried sage. Sage is thought to clear away negative energy and spirits. Catch the ashes with a plate held underneath the bundle and walk around your home to cleanse it with the sage smoke.
Step7
Invite good energies into your living space after getting rid of ghosts by lighting lavender, rose or vanilla incense and candles.

Tips & Warnings

  • Hire a professional shaman or spirit worker if you feel overwhelmed while trying to get rid of unwanted ghosts. Shamans specialize in spirit work and are knowledgeable about many spells to get rid of unwanted spirits and ghosts.

on 7/5/2008 an entity also became obsessed with me when I was a child.
Children's minds are more open, therefore more psychic.
But, with troubled children, their openness makes them even
more vulnerable to being haunted, they are like lighthouses
to the entities.
Such was my case.
As an adult, I looked at the little clues about it and what was happening to me to
find out more, then I analyzed it and researched it.
When I realized what it was( more or less) the hauntings stopped.
There are different kinds of entities...
Some are ghosts ,some are demons.
The are several other reasons why they attach themselves to children, too.

on 7/18/2007 Ghosts are real people who may be very afraid and in need of help. I don't think they should be ordered out of a place they regard as safe, without some idea of where they are to go. I personally would not ask a ghost to leave unless he or she was being aggressive or disruptive in some way. Don't ask members of the clergy to help - this usually just makes matters worse. If you have a ghost in your home and feel he or she needs help, do some research to find someone with the ability to see and talk to the ghost, and help them to move on safely to where they should be. Again, if the ghost is reluctant to go and is not causing any nuisance, why ask them to leave?
